Eight was enough for Matt Duchene.

The Ottawa Senators forward scored Saturday night for the first time as a member of his new club, corralling and burying a rebound on the power play late in a loss to the New York Islanders.

Duchene had gone seven games without a goal for the Senators since Ottawa acquired him in a blockbuster three-way trade with the Colorado Avalanche and Nashville Predators on Nov. 5.

He was technically on an eight-game scoreless streak including his final appearance with the Avalanche, but he was removed from that outing moments before the deal was announced after playing fewer than two minutes.
